Read, but Replied with Nonsense

Led by Heavenly Flame Venerable, the group flew through the vast mountain range for nearly half an hour before finally coming to a stop. The group was taken aback and looked around, only to find that it was still a lush forest with no buildings or peaks around it, just an ordinary Sea of Forest.

"This is interesting, there really is a formation here!"

The beautiful purple-haired woman Zi Yan, also became interested at this moment, and her gaze swept around the surroundings with a strange look.

A moment later, Zi Yan smiled slightly, then stretched out her slender jade finger and gently drew a spatial gate radiating purple light.

"Found it, let's go!"

Zi Yan turned her head and said to everyone with a smile.

It has to be you!

Xiao Yuan didn't hold back his praise, giving her a thumbs up, and a bottle of Grade 7 Pill was given to her at the same time.

Hehehe!

Seeing this, Zi Yan immediately revealed a charming smile, which made Cai Lin shake his head.

Silly child, you'll probably get sold out one day and still be counting the money for the seller! "Speaking of which, this is my first time entering the Starfall Pavilion as the Young Pavilion Master!"

Xiao Yuan sighed with some emotion, then took the lead and walked in, followed by the others.

Upon entering the spatial gate, everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and the world before them suddenly changed as if the stars had shifted. What was once an endless Sea of Forest now appeared as a towering mountain peak. On the mountain peak, some buildings could be vaguely seen, and faintly, one could even hear shouts of sparring and fighting.

"Bah!"

Shortly after a group of people appeared in the sky, a dozen or so huge white cranes suddenly flew out from the distant mountain peaks. On the cranes stood some figures, and the leading figure in blue flashed over and appeared in front of everyone.

"Who are you people, and how did you get in?"

The girl looked quite young, dressed in a blue robe, with a pair of bright, large eyes that made her look exceptionally cute, and a hint of childishness and innocence still lingering on her charming face.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "You must be Mu Qingluan, Junior Sister Mu? I am Xiao Yuan."

After saying that, Xiao Yuan activated the same technique as Wind Venerable, the Cyclone Wind Riding Art, and cyan Dou Qi swept around his body.

"You are... Senior Brother Xiao Yuan? Really?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingluan frowned and tilted her head to look at Xiao Yuan.

"Hehe, Old Feng will tell you whether it's true or not."

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan didn't bother arguing with Mu Qingluan. He snapped his fingers, and an invisible Space Power spread out, his aura as a fourth-star Dou Zun appearing inside the Starfall Pavilion.

Sensing Xiao Yuan's terrifying aura, which was no less powerful than that of their Wind Venerable, Mu Qingluan's already large eyes widened like copper bells, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

Didn't the teacher say that Senior Brother Xiao Yuan was Two Star Dou Zun? How did he suddenly become a four-star?

Sensing the aura of the unfamiliar Dou Zun, many figures from the Starfall Pavilion naturally gathered there, but the fastest to arrive was naturally Wind Venerable.

A gust of wind blew by, and the figure of the Wind Venerable appeared in front of Xiao Yuan.

"Old Feng, I was just curious and sneaked in without informing you. You can't blame me, can you?"

Xiao Yuan said with a grin.

Upon hearing this, Wind Venerable was taken aback, then said, "Strictly speaking, the Starfall Pavilion's base is actually a space constructed from Meteorite Star Power. Although it cannot compare to the vast space constructed by Dou Sheng Expert, it is extremely well-hidden because it is naturally formed. Even Dou Zun expert flying over here would find it difficult to detect its secrets. You just entered so easily, kid?"

"Hehe, we have helpers now!"

Xiao Yuan's gaze swept over Heavenly Flame Venerable and Zi Yan.

"I almost forgot, with Brother Tianhuo's strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to see through some of the clues!"

Upon hearing this, Wind Venerable smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to Heavenly Flame Venerable.

"Haha, Old Feng, this place is indeed quite nice. Even I couldn't sneak in without breaking through the great formation. But this kid is definitely extraordinary; the girls around him are all exceptionally skilled!"

Heavenly Flame Venerable responded with a smile.

During the months that Wind Venerable spent in the Danta, he received some guidance from Heavenly Flame Venerable. The two got along quite well and now address each other as brothers.

"Hiss"

Xiao Yuan suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing this, Wind Venerable asked with concern.

"I just remembered something, Senior Tianhuo, please don't beat me up."

Xiao Yuan said with a somewhat strange expression.

"I've never been to the Starfall Pavilion before, so I troubled Senior Tianhuo to find the location of the formation. Then Zi Yan led us in here, but..." Xiao Yuan raised his hand halfway through his sentence, looking at the black Storage Ring on his finger, "Teacher, you were just watching us work like that?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Yao Lao's figure flew out, followed by a mocking laugh, "You little rascal, aren't you quite capable? I saw you were in good spirits, so I didn't want to disturb your enjoyment!"

"Haha, this silly boy!"

Upon hearing this, Wind Venerable burst into laughter. In the past, he had only seen Xiao Yuan's shrewd and calculating demeanor, but now his simple and foolish appearance was extremely comical and made people unable to help but laugh.

"Oh, it's nothing. I've only ever heard of such natural formations. Seeing them in person has certainly broadened my horizons."

Upon hearing this, Heavenly Flame Venerable didn't seem to mind and simply waved his hand dismissively.

As for Zi Yan, that little foodie, she's still busy eating and doesn't care about any of this nonsense.

"Teacher"

Upon seeing Wind Venerable arrive and confirming the identities of Xiao Yuan and his group, Mu Qingluan breathed a sigh of relief and waved her hand, causing the white cranes circling in the air to retreat.

"Hmm." Wind Venerable nodded with a smile, then pointed at Yao Lao and said with a smile, "Come and greet the Pavilion Master of our Starfall Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingluan was taken aback. She glanced at Yao Lao and suddenly realized that the latter looked exactly like the portrait of the sect's founder. She immediately understood that Wind Venerable was not joking and quickly said respectfully, "Qingluan greets Pavilion Master."

The Yao Lao shook his head helplessly, saying with a wry smile, "You old codger, are you deliberately trying to embarrass me?"

"You are the master of the Starfall Pavilion, how could I embarrass you?" Wind Venerable smiled and turned to Mu Qingluan, "With Venerable Yao here in the future, you people will be very fortunate."

"The Venerable Yao?"

Hearing this, Mu Qingluan was quite shocked. Back then, Yao Chen's name was known to everyone in Central State. She had occasionally Wind Venerable mention him before, but she never expected to see him in person today.

"Forget it, don't listen to this old man's nonsense. We've been traveling for so many days, it's time to rest. Let's arrange some accommodations first."

The Yao Lao waved his hand and said.

The return of Yao Lao undoubtedly made the Starfall Pavilion exceptionally lively. The disciples and even some elders of the Starfall Pavilion Master. In recent years, the Starfall Pavilion had been almost entirely built up by Wind Venerable. Even so, Wind Venerable had always kept the position of Pavilion Master vacant, showing no intention of taking it, because he firmly believed that Yao Lao would return to the Starfall Pavilion sooner or later, and this position had always been reserved for him.

As he had expected, the day finally arrived. Therefore, on the second day after Xiao Yuan and the others arrived, he summoned all the disciples of the Starfall Pavilion and announced the return of the Pavilion Master.

This event was undoubtedly a major shock to the Starfall Pavilion. In the past, the Starfall Pavilion was always led by Wind Venerable. Now, the real leader has changed. The disciples below were naturally not used to it. However, fortunately, the feeling of being unaccustomed did not last long and was broken by a different kind of excitement.

Even these newcomers were familiar with the name of the Venerable Yao. Some of the older elders were overjoyed. With their extensive experience, they knew very well the reputation the Yao Lao had in the Central Plains Continent. In terms of fame and seniority, even the three giants of the Danta would be slightly inferior. With such a figure as the Pavilion Master, how could the Starfall Pavilion not be strong? Faced with this situation, the Yao Lao could only smile bitterly. However, this time, he did not refuse. After experiencing the events of these years, he understood that unless a person's strength was truly overwhelming, there would always be a considerable gap between an individual and a power. Back then, he had suffered because he was too carefree, which allowed the Soul Hall to seize the opportunity to secretly harm him.

Now that he has a chance to start over, he will naturally not be willing to let such a thing happen again. Furthermore, in order to confront the Soul Hall in the future, he must expand his own strength no matter what. He has basically settled things with the Flower Sect and the Burning Flame Valley, and he naturally has an inescapable responsibility to deal with the Starfall Pavilion as well.

Seeing that Yao Lao did not make any more excuses to refuse, Wind Venerable breathed a sigh of relief. In his heart, he had always believed that Starfall Pavilion belonged to Yao Lao. Over the years, he had only helped manage it. Now that Yao Lao had returned, it was natural to hand it over.

His relationship with Yao Lao was one of life-and-death friendship. For Yao Lao's sake, Wind Venerable had searched for so many years. What was a mere Pavilion Master position compared to that? Moreover, he knew Yao Lao's temperament well. He wasn't good at management, so in the end, he would have to be the one to deal with these matters.

In addition, there is the return of Xiao Yuan, the Young Pavilion Master.

Although the younger disciples were not familiar with Yao Lao, the names Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan were now very well-known.

One is the champion of the Pill Gathering, and the other is the youngest Danta prodigy in history.

Moreover, the arrangements for the Han Clan were handled by the disciples of the Starfall Pavilion. They naturally knew that Xiao Yuan had already ruined the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, which was also one of the four pavilions, before he went to the Danta. Putting aside everything else, his ability to kill the Four Great Elders Wind Cloud Lightning and Thunder on his own was enough to make the disciples of the Starfall Pavilion admire him.

He single-handedly killed four Dou Zong experts!

Such strength is enough to be considered an elder in the Starfall Pavilion!

Moreover, they knew perfectly well that Xiao Yuan was a genuine Eighth Grade Alchemist certified by the Danta!

That's someone even Dou Zun expert would rush to befriend! The Starfall Pavilion Disciples, but their quality is extremely good, so they naturally admire someone like Xiao Yuan.

Heavenly Flame Venerable also held the title of Guest Elder. Although the Danta was quite good, it was naturally not difficult to choose compared to a true direct lineage force like the Starfall Pavilion.

Moreover, the environment of the Starfall Pavilion suited his taste quite well, especially the natural Starfall Great Array, which he found very interesting. Therefore, he would spend time studying it every day, and it was said that he might be able to come up with some solutions to improve the array.

Wind Venerable was naturally quite pleased with this. In terms of knowledge alone, even someone as well-traveled as Yao Lao was inferior to Heavenly Flame Venerable.

Cai Lin and Zi Yan didn't care, since they were following Xiao Yuan anyway.

As for Xiong Zhan, there's not much to say. He'll go wherever his little aunt and Xiao Yuan tell him to go. Anyway, he's sure he won't suffer any losses by following these two.

However, the time for rest was short. Just three days later, the elders sent by the Starfall Pavilion sent back a message.

The ruins have been opened!

Inside the Starfall Pavilion's Council Great Hall, everyone was seated.

Wind Venerable and Yao Lao sat side by side at the head of the table, clearly indicating that there was no distinction of rank among the leaders, which was in line with Yao Lao's personality.

"Based on preliminary investigations, the ruins that appeared in the Beast Region, judging from their completeness, likely belonged to a peak Dou Sheng level expert."

Wind Venerable spoke first.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded; what he wanted was the Dou Saint Ruins!

"The ancient times are completely different from the present. In those countless years, many relics were naturally left behind. Some relics may be buried or disappeared over time, but some will be rediscovered by chance. For example, the Ancient Ruins Ancient Ruins appears, it will cause a bloodbath. You should know what kind of attraction the things left behind by Dou Sheng level expert have. They are enough to drive people crazy."

At this point, Wind Venerable turned his gaze to Xiao Yuan.

"This Ancient Ruins is likely to be even more troublesome than the one Yao Chen and I participated in last time, because it appears in the Beast Region, which is the domain of magical beast families. As you know, those magical beasts bound by family ties have a very strong xenophobic mentality. This time, the Ancient Ruins has appeared on their territory, and given their nature, they will not be happy to let human powerhouses get a share of the spoils. Although you are extremely strong, you still need to be careful."

You should know that some powerful magical beast families possess experts at the Dou Sheng level. Generally, you can't come into contact with them, but since you're on their territory, you should still proceed with caution!

Wind Venerable gave his instructions.

"Yes, Old Feng, don't worry. The purpose of this trip to the Ancient Ruins is to find the Dou Sheng Remains as materials for my teacher to restore his physical body. No matter who stands in my way, they will die!"

Xiao Yuan nodded solemnly upon hearing this.

???

Upon hearing this, Wind Venerable looked bewildered.
